RESEARCH NOTES:
Count of Anjou [Ref: Weis AR #123, Holloway p8] 1129-1151 [Ref: Tapsell p204]
Duke of Normandy [Ref: Weis AR #123, Holloway p8] 1144-1150 [Ref: Tapsell
p203]
The friends of Geoffrey were unaware that their playful nickname for him
of Plantagenet would live through the years. The story is told that while
disguised in battle, and to make himself known to his followers, he leaned
from his horse and grasped a sprig of "plante de genet," the common broom corn
which grew thickly on the heath, and thrust it in his helmet. Thus he derived
his popular title. [Ref: Wurts p200]
It is much to be wished that the surname "plantagenet," which since the time
of Charles II has been freely given to all the descendants of Geoffrey of
Anjou, had some historical basis which wuld justify its use, for it forms a
most convenient method of referring to the Edwardian kings and their numerous
descendants. The fact is, however, as has been pointed out by Sir James
Ramsay and other writers of our day, that the name, although a personal emblem
of the aforesaid Geoffrey, was never borne by any of his descendants before
Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York (father of Edward IV), who assumed it,
apparently about 1448 [Ref: CP I p183]
